We obtain certain time decay and regularity estimates for 3D Schrödinger equation with a potential in the Kato class by using Besov spaces associated with Schrödinger operators.

We consider the time discretization based on Lie-Trotter splitting, for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, in the semi-classical limit, with initial data under the form of WKB states. We show that both the exact and the numerical solutions keep a WKB structure, on a time interval independent of the Planck constant. We prove error estimates, which show that the quadratic observables can be comp...

An important and well established area of quantum optics is the theory of Markovian stochastic Schrödinger equations (or by another name quantum trajectory theory). Recently stochastic Schrödinger equations have been developed for non-Markovian systems. In this paper we extend the current known stochastic Schrödinger equations for non-Markovian systems to include the position unraveling. We als...

Based on Bohmian quantum trajectory theory, an investigation of electron scattering in a thin crystal has been performed. A time-independent interaction potential was employed to describe electron scattering from model crystal. Quantum trajectories were calculated by a numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The probability density functions and quantum trajectories repre...

In this paper we use a similarity transformation connecting some families of Nonlinear Schrödinger equations with time-varying coefficients with the autonomous cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation. This transformation allows one to apply all known results for that equation to the original non-autonomous case with the additional dynamics introduced by the transformation itself. In particular, us...

The nonlinear Schrödinger equation is studied for a periodic sequence of delta-potentials (a delta-comb) or narrow Gaussian potentials. For the delta-comb the time-independent nonlinear Schrödinger equation can be solved analytically in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions and thus provides useful insight into the features of nonlinear stationary states of periodic potentials. Phenomena well-know...

The numerical approximation of the solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation arising in ultrafast laser dynamics is discussed. The linear Schrödinger equation is reduced to a computationally tractable, lower dimensional system of nonlinear partial differential equations by the multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree-Fock method. This method serves to approximate the original wave f...
